The unit for the numbers in bars is articles.

A graph for pageviews of Turkish Wikipedia shows a large drop of roughly 80% immediately after
the block of Wikipedia in Turkey was imposed in 2017.

Since Wikipedia is based on the Web and therefore worldwide, contributors to the same

language edition may use different dialects or may come from different countries (as is the
case for the English edition). These differences may lead to some conflicts over spelling
differences (e.g. colour versus color)[136] or points of view.[137]
Though the various language editions are held to global policies such as "neutral point of
view", they diverge on some points of policy and practice, most notably on whether images that
are not licensed freely may be used under a claim of fair use.[138][139][140]
Jimmy Wales has described Wikipedia as "an effort to create and distribute a free
encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own
language".[141] Though each language edition functions more or less independently, some
efforts are made to supervise them all. They are coordinated in part by Meta-Wiki, the
Wikimedia Foundation's wiki devoted to maintaining all its projects (Wikipedia and others).
[142]
 For instance, Meta-Wiki provides important statistics on all language editions of Wikipedia,
[143]
 and it maintains a list of articles every Wikipedia should have. [144] The list concerns basic
content by subject: biography, history, geography, society, culture, science, technology, and
mathematics. It is not rare for articles strongly related to a particular language not to have
counterparts in another edition. For example, articles about small towns in the United States
might be available only in English, even when they meet the notability criteria of other
language Wikipedia projects.

Estimation of contributions shares from different regions in the world to different Wikipedia editions [145]
Translated articles represent only a small portion of articles in most editions, in part because
those editions do not allow fully automated translation of articles. Articles available in more
than one language may offer "interwiki links", which link to the counterpart articles in other
editions.[citation needed]
A study published by PLOS One in 2012 also estimated the share of contributions to different
editions of Wikipedia from different regions of the world. It reported that the proportion of the
edits made from North America was 51% for the English Wikipedia, and 25% for the simple
English Wikipedia.[145]
